Contemplation of her Troubles

Her husband off dealing with trouble in the forest, Joy is left alone in the elven city, a place she was too young to remember when she left, contemplating the sword which inevitablly has brought her here. She is faced with the task of clearing her family name before a council not known for their compassion, making an ally out of the man who killed her father, mother and older brother and once sought her life as well, or facing the death to which all her family was put before her. Trouble is, she cannot lie, not even about what she is, and she knows for fact that more than half the ideas for which her father was executed are true. The trick will be to come out of this alive without the council forcing her to remain within the city as their leader. For these elves value 3 kinds of people above all things: Seers, Blade singers, and magic weilders. To be even one of these sets one above one's caste. Joy is all three. Add to this that her new husband was out facing a great danger to the wood which neither of them had a face to alone and without her sword to back him and you have one stressed out elf!
this came about as a challenge for some facial emotion. Max, I did my best. THe model was a bit cranky! Poser, no postwork. Dang it!! I'm going to have to write this one one of these days!

Book 3 in my Vampire series. As stated in my bio, I have no choice but to put Alia on hold for a few months. So, I'm going to work on fixing this one to match the rest of the world.
This one has a very different tone. WHile Olivia was of ancient faith and Alia is of vehemently anti-faith, this one is steeped in medieval faith. If you be of (or just knowledgable in) the particular sect of Islam that I will get into in this book, please feel free to offer advice, resources or corrections. Research is as usual extensive, but sources on this one is spotty at best. My history regarding the Christians and the battles involved, as well as the Hashishin are correct. (My apologies to all Shi'ites out there who may take offence to the term. But this book is written from the point of veiw of enemies of the Shi'ite faction, the Christians and the Sunni.)
Prologue: Introduction to Agravaine who will not be seen again until Chapter 5 and fully introduced in Chapter 6. Chapter 1: The introduction of Joseph and Sorieya and their meeting.

Chapter 10: The Feast of St. Aislynn.
samples of how Tremaine handles things. Questions arise and few answers
Chapter 11: A Taste of Evil.
I'm not talking.... (Clio won't let me spoil it)
Chapter 12:A turning in the winds.
Again, Clio won't let me give a spoiler, but this is the last chapter previously written, so I need to do some serious remembering/thinking. Hopefully there will be more to this soon enough.
Though I will tell you this, I have two ideas for crossover characters, and one you may or may not recognize!! coming soon

This is the beginning of a new series. I have no idea yet how long the books will be or how many, I just know there is no way I'm going to be able to do it in just one. Please to let me know if you want more. I'll post as I can. This particular book has no title yet, so if something suggests itself, please tell me. The series will be titled 'DragonLade'. But I had to change the book title cause I want to save it for a later book
This is a story of dragons and goblins and... well, it begins with a young elf playing the knight errant and his magical sword... well, it doesn't begin with him. There's a mini-story prologue first, but you need that little fairy-tale to begin. This is mostly a tale of the elf, Gilderoth, and his adventures with the vargren (an anthromorphic wolf-man). (and his side encounter with the fey... sorry, China and Vicious have now turned my milk sour and hidden my spatulas because I forgot to mention them.)

No change to document, just shifting parts between two files to make it fit as Extranet decided after 2 years that it was too long.
Another of those old tales I wrote ages ago and haven't quite completed. This one I just lost my momentum (ie my muse got bored with it and REALLY ticked off at the guy who was 'helping' me with it) somewhere around chapter 10. Thought you guys might like something new to peer at.
This one is an episodic adventurerer novel with lots of side characters but two main ones. All the 'adventures' (aka chapters) have one or the other of these two in it or both as it is for these two that the book is named. Read, hopefully enjoy, either way, tell me what you think.
